Introducing Automist Smartscan

Automist Smartscan® is more than
a safety device for suppressing fires—it’s a modern design feature. An
evolution of the James Dyson award-winning Automist®, the discreet wall-mounted
device enables homeowners and architects to design beautifully light and open
spaces, while still meeting challenging requirements of building regulations.

Automist Smartscan® has a
rotating head that directly targets fires with a powerful jet of water mist. It
has been proven to achieve the same performance as residential sprinkler
systems, and uses 90% less water resulting in minimal water damage to the
living space.
